Pro bono programs are rare in U.S. law departments, but even more so in their European counterparts. Yet General Electric Company decided two years ago that if its American lawyers can volunteer their time, so can their colleagues across the Atlantic. However, local country restrictions have meant that GE's European attorneys have had to be creative about the kinds of services and advice that they offer to their pro bono clients.
